Daisuke Matsuzaka, the pitcher the Red Sox spent 103 million dollars on, pitched quite well against the lowly Royals Thursday. Dice-K - which, by the way, might the dumbest nickname of all time; I only use it because typing out his real name takes longer - was excellent, striking out 10, walking only one and allowing only one run. Zach Grienke, who left the Royals with emotional issues last year, also looked good. (Fantasy sleeper anyone?)
However, as good as Matsuzaka looked, as Winston Wolf would say, "Let's not start sucking each other's dicks just yet." Yeah, he looked good, but the Royals are easily the worst American League team. I could have struck out 3 of them. Let's see how he does against the Yankees, or even the Devil Rays. And, speaking of those Devil Rays, they're in first place. Enjoy it Rays fans. It wont last. Oh wait, the Devil Rays don't have fans. Never mind then.
Also, A-Rod hit a very clutch grand slam in the bottom of the 9th today to beat the Orioles. Jeter said he might let A-Rod be the top tonight. I have my doubts.
All in all it's good to have baseball back, even in the Phillies are sucking royally. Everyone around here is buying into the "Well, they always start slow" camp. Well, they never make the fucking playoffs either! Teams that start fast almost always have good records because they can afford to coast during the dog days of summer. The Mets and Braves are already both 4-1. Every game counts. The sooner the Phils start winning them, the better. But I'm not holding my breath.

Take it easy on us, brother. We don't know how to react to foreigners and black folk on the Boston teams yet.
